After tactical training this afternoon at Gávea Stadium, coach Caio Júnior spoke about his expectations for Saturday's decisive match against Náutico at Estádio dos Aflitos. The Flamengo manager believes a victory would be the perfect fuel for Flamengo to go all out in its quest for its sixth championship.

"Given the scenario Flamengo will face, there's no doubt that a victory will motivate the group and the fans. The atmosphere at the Club will be even more positive, and everything will become very possible for Flamengo. We have to focus on the title, and the Libertadores is a consequence. We don't know what will happen after this game, but a victory would be perfect for Flamengo's ambitions in this Brazilian Championship."

Caio Júnior praised the Náutico team led by Roberto Fernandes and assured that the red-black team is ready to face any adversity in Recife.

"Náutico has a very good tactical alternative. They have a great coach, who doesn't promote the team and will make things very difficult for Flamengo. It will be a difficult game, but we are prepared and ready to play a great game."
